Hi Kieran,

(CC'ing Morimoto-san)

Thank you for the patch.

Strictly speaking this shouldn't be a limitation of the partition algorithm, 
but a limitation of the Gen3 hardware. The limitations relate to image 
partitioning as partitions are needed when using the UDS or SRU in a pipeline, 
but as far as I understand, that's the whole extent of the relationship 
between the two.

I assume you mean after instead of before.

I've tested the SRU-UDS and UDS-SRU pipelines with all combinations for 
downscaling, identity and upscaling for the UDS and identity and upscaling for 
the UDS. On Gen2 everything works correctly.

On Gen3 the results are as follows:

Two of the tests hang the VSP completely, for a reason I don't understand yet. 
Among the three tests that fail, the "UDS-SRU scaling 768x576 - 640x480 - 
1280x960 in YUV444M" tests is a false positives due to differences in scaling 
algorithms between the VSP and gen-image.

The only two tests that really fail are thus "SRU-UDS scaling 768x576 - 
768x576 - 640x480" in RGB24 and YUV444M.

The "20151116_VSP-IMG_Image_Partition_Information.pptx" document mentions the 
following restrictions:

- double-scaled super resolution and UDS cannot be used at same time.
- UDS cannot be connected after SRU.

However, from the above tests it looks like the hardware can live with more 
relaxed restrictions than the ones implemented here. I haven't tested all UDS 
scaling ratios, and certainly not under all memory bus load conditions, I 
might thus be too optimistic. Morimoto-san, would it be possible to get more 
information about this from the hardware team, to check whether the above two 
restrictions need to be honoured, or whether they come from an older hardware 
version ?

This won't work, as force_identity_mode is set when starting the pipeline, 
while sru_enum_frame_size() and sru_try_format() are called before, when 
configuring the pipeline. I see no other option than failing pipeline 
validation instead of trying to report the problem to the user when setting 
formats (but feel free to prove me wrong).

force_identity_mode is never reset to false.
